Sounds Perfect - Bastian Hager

Digital world with analog feelings.

The studio 1 is one of europe's top adresses for recording & mixing.

96 Inline-Channel Solid State Logic C200 with 5.1 PMC MB2A XBD monitoring, high end & vintage outboard gear, 96i/o ProTools HD3, 24-Trk Studer A827, 2-Trk Studer A80 etc.

Managed by my former mentor Senior Audio Engineer Gerhard Woelfle, this is my favorite place for mixing my productions.

And the recording room is incredible for large sounding drums.

More than 20 years of recording history - redesigned in 2011.

These are the studios I supervise as a resident engineer & producer. Perfect for any type of bandproduction, because of up to 6 different sounding recordingrooms & bothes, which can be used simultaniusly for live tracking.

24-Inline-Channel SSL Duality SE (analog Automation, Total Recall, DAW-Control) with PMC IB1 monitoring, 32i/o ProTools HD3 with PrismSound converter, 24-Trk Studer A80 and many microphones, vintage & high end equipment and instruments.

And there is a small attic apartment.

Preproductions, songwritings, overdubs and editings with ProTools & Logic Pro, Genelec 1032A monitoring and a small vocal booth.

I'm running my own system with iMac (27'', 3,4 GHz quad-core i7, 16GB Ram, OSX Lion) and lot's of plugins, virtual instruments, loops and samples there.

Perfect for extensive sound findings to develop unique and characteristic tones while going easy on the budget. And for all kinds of editings (like drums) or small overdubs or songwriting sessions.

But the best:
The atmosphere is highly creative.

Mastering (perhaps while still mixing at dorian gray studios) with PMC IB2 monitoring and Sadie workstation, custom Crookwood mastering desk, PrismSound converters and high end mastering compressors and equalizers from Weiss, Tubetech, PrismSound, Manley, Elysia and GML.

Mastering Engineer Dieter Pimiskern is always first choice for mastering any of my productions.

And not only in my opinion, the room in conjunction with the pmc's is the best sounding place you can imagine - so it's also a perfect spot for just listening to music.
